  All you're doing is shifting the burden, there's no guarantee they won't (or already are) doing something similar

    Not looking for a guarantee, selling your info will defeat the entire purpose of their business, that's good enough for me. And by law, if they do so, they have to disclose it.

      -They- may not sell the data but the Visa API services they use under the hood sure do, so it is a bit moot.
      • _8j50 2y ago
        It's not moot because they anonymize the merchant and payment information prior to that api (mastercard not visa).
        • lrvick 2y ago
          Timing and location data combined with data from various "data enrichment" firms make short work of de-anonymizing this in most cases I am sure.
          • _8j50 2y ago
            You can create burner cards that are single use or cards dedicated to a merchant. As far as timing and location data you don' need visa or mastercard for that, but any information visa or master card can share with third parties would be specific to a merchant.

  "Just buy a lock" isn't the solution to people stealing cars. The onus isn't on innocent people to protect themselves from thieves. The onus is on the group with a monopoly on force, i.e. the government, to stop them.
  • lrvick 2y ago
    Except the government is people. Each person has to make their voice heard or the odds of the government doing anything are zero. That process tends to take decades so until things change, yeah, buy locks.
  • _8j50 2y ago
    Yes, but until that happens a nice car lock and alarm system would be great.
